Conway and Tate and Gilmore and

second game. but Mr.. Gaffney concluded
TO make second trial of the same bat
terry which won the first game. Man-
ager Merrill accepted the situation and
did the same. The game was exciting,
the players on their mettle and the
crowd generous and impartial in the
applause of the fine plays with which
the game abounded. Stemmeyer'S work
up to the seventh was remarkable, the
vietOrs finding the ball for only three

the first run for the Senators. O'Brien'S

terrifically, but took too many chances

MISUNDERSTANDING.
Senator CuiIom to Present Amend
me nts Whereby He Expects to In
crease the Efficacy Of the Act.

Senator Cullom, chairman of the inter.
state commerce committee, has prepared
amendments to the interstate law which he
will present to the senate at an early day.
Those amendments embody the most i'm
portant suggestions that have been made
as to defects in the law, including the rec
concentrations OF the Interstate commits
sioners. Following is a synopsis of the
more important provisions:
ITO extend the provisions OF the act
80 as to make the act apply
to express companies, sleeping car
companies. drawing room cars, palace car
companies. stock car companies, tank car
companies and any other companies, as
sociations or persons furnishing for public
use upon railroads, cars or other instru-
mentaljties for the transportation OF pas.
sengers or property" This is intended to
include every possible monopoly, like the
rails. The words 'or other carriers
are inserted twice in the fifth
section, SO as to prohibit not
only pooling between different railroads,
but between different railroads and other
carriers. In the sixth section which relat ties
to the publication OF tes, the provisions
with respect to the advance and reduction
in rates are repeated SO as to apply spe.
officially to joint through rates. This
dneTuHeilU Is prOFOSeu because the COM
mission express in their report some doubt
as to whether these provisions do SO APP
ply. AS to the short haul provision it is
provided that where complaint is made
against two or more carriers for violating
it and the violations occur between
points on the road of one only,
that road only shall be held liable for
the violation. An addition to section Is,
which relates to compensation for dam
ages, is proposed, that when complain
ant is seeking to recover damages the car.
rier may file with the commission its
consent that the commission may pass
upon the question OF damages, and the de
cision OF the commission shall stand as q
judgment, which may be enforced by execu
ton by United States marshal in the
same manner or as judgments of the Unit
ed States circuit court are enforced. l
payment is not made, the complainant
may proceed in any United States court o
| competent Jurisdiction to recover damages
and the report OF the commission shall be
prma facie evidence Of the fact found
| Provision is also made to take the com
mission out OF the Jurisdiction of the in
terror department, and to require it te
report direct to congress. The object il
to make the commission independent O
any administration.

1.-The Moth of Money!.

Putting aside all the sad showing Or
low ideals to be found in the manner
of dressing to be seen everywhere
around us we may perhaps help our
selves and others to find better
plane of thought on the subject by
taking note of what some girls have
said who hold the matter under con-
sideration. I find it possible to divide
these girls into three classes.
l. The girls who have nearly all
the money they want, and who
believe that their first duty in life is
to dress themselves with it.
2. The girls who have very little
money, and who use what time they
have as well as their money in appear
ing as addressed as possible.
3. The girls who have very little
either of time Or Of money at their
disposal, and whose interests are in
something quite different from their
clothes, yet who have taste and senti-
ment, and who suffer if they ever find
themselves dressed inappropriately.
We have all known girls belonging
to each of these classes.
We know the girl who is given near
ly all the money she wants and is
told to get the prettiest things she
can find to wear. What is the result?
Sometimes, like the girls in confection-
cry shops who get SO tired of sweet
things that they never want to touch
them, the taste pals. 1t is like any
other earthly possession-once ours
we care very little for it. | heard
young dressmaker with a large custom
say the other day, "Why, If it were
not for my business, l would wear
the plainest things could find, and
never think of dress again as long as
live" Famous actresses, too, whose
profession requires constant atten-
ton to dress, are known to despise
fine dressing when they are in private.
Charlotte Cushman, who saw more of
society and that of the best kind
through long series of years than
almost anybody Of her time, used to
limit herself to three dresses-a COM
Portable gray wollen dress for every
day, good black dress and light
silk for occasions" This left her a
margin OF money for doing many
noble things.
1t is wonderful what moth OF
money fine dressing is; and OF all IN
satisfactory results perhaps to be
finely dressed is ono OF the least. I
am speaking, of course, OF fine dress
ing, not forgetting that witty saying
Of one OF our excellent New England
women-that "there is a consolation
in being we'll dressed which even relig-
ion cannot bestow.'
Religion does not work in that way.
If we neglect our duties she is not
coming to help lis until we take pains
to help ourselves; and one OF our first
duties to ourselves and g others is to
be ftlv dressed. There never was d
carelessly dressed or an unneat per-
son known who was not also careless
about appointments, careless at fig
ures, unneat in processes OF thought,
and in some way untrustworthy.
Alas. 1t is a fact-that clothes illus
trate the man.-Mrs. James T. Fields
in Wide Awake.

and more sad, and though the little boy
tried to earn money by errands here
and there, yet how slowly the pennies
came in!
And one night after mamma had
fallen asleep, the boy and girl huddled
close beside the small fire, and Sis list
ened wonderingly while Bobby told
her of plan he had decided upon for
the very next morning.
And before he and Sis went to bed
he had written in a scrawly way, half
print and half-penmanship-a letter
which was to be mailed very early the
next day.
And sure enough, when Letter col
lector Brown came along in the gray
dawn of the morning to collect letters
from the lamp-post box at the corner
of -- Street, who should he see
but two small, shivering little people
standing there hand in hand, while the
boy was just dropping letter inside
the box.
They were off like deer before lie
could speak to them, but it was not
difficult for the collector to decide
which letter the little fellow had drop
ped in, which he found amongst the
batch awaiting his mailbag, one ad-
dressed "To the richest man in this
city,"
"Ho! no! no." laughed the collector,
as he beheld the strange suparscrip-
ton. 'Now, that's a good joke, that
| is! Who's the richest man in town:
Why, Mr.. --, to be sure. I'll
just carry out the joke and leave it at

Interesting Wheat Statistics.

There is now in store in country eleva-
tors on all lines OF railroad in Minnesota
and Dakota outside OF Minneapolis, St.
Paul and Duluth, 100000 bushels in
round numbers, the actual figures being
2O,1OO,OOO. OF this amount it is estimat,
ed that 2, 900, 900 bushels are old wheat
which has been held over from last crop,
leaving 8. OOO,O bushels OF the new crop
in store now.
The greatest amount OF wheat is held on
the Northern lines OF railroad, more than
thirds OF the entire amount being in
that section OF Minnesota and Dakota
north OF an east and west line through
Minneapolis. There is no doubt that if the
above estimate OF amount in country ele-
vators is correct that the crop is near
ninety-five millions.
1t appears that about 40, 900, 600 bush
els of this have been shipped and in tran.
sit, leaving Is. 100000 in country eleva.
tors, and, with the usual allowance for
bread and seed, 100000 in farmers
hands to come forward. 1t also appears
that Minneapolis is getting much larger
proportion OF the shipments this year
than last.

Deer in Illinois.

Isaac Jordon, of this place, who first
trod the prairies Of Douglas county in
the fall of 1oi9, just thirty-eight years
ago, informs us that one of the largest
deer he ever saw was started from the
high grass on the spot where the Illi-
nois Central depot now stands, in the
winter of 1854. He and the late
Caleb Garrett gave chase with fifteen
we'll trained hounds. and the dogs sue
ceeded in killing the deer after a run
of six miles in the direction of Bour-
bon, but not until the old buck had
given the pursuing hounds three des-
perate battles. Mr.. Garrett saved the
horns and head, but venison being
plentiful those days, the carcass was
left for the hungry wolves to devour.
At that time there was not house on
the spot where Tuscola now stands,
and the Central railroad was not built
through this section until three years
later.-Tuscola, (IH.) Recieac.

a Wood Chute.

One of the most interesting sights I
ever saw in my life, says correspond
ent. is the wood chute at the Home
stake Mine. This mine has a railroad
twenty-five miles long to the pineries
where fuel is obtained, and the road
ends at the top of a high hill just
above the mill. Here the wood is
dumped into chute made of heavy
logs lined with iron. The logs de-
scend with tremendous velocity, and
on reaching the mouth of the chute
leap out into the air, pass over the
mill, and land some $50 feet from the
foot of the bluff. For hours perfect
stream of logs passes over the heads
of the men at work below, and to a
newcomer it seems sufficiently danger
Gus, but no accident ever occurred,
and one soon gets over the nervous
feeling. Five thousand cords of wood
are piled at time by the arrangement
which saves tens of thousands of dol
lars annually to the company, dispos-
ing of $4,000 cords year without any
cost Of piling.

Worst Disaster of Modern Times.

Chinese papers give details OF disaster
occasioned by the Yellow river overflow
ing its banks in the Province Of Honau,
and describe it as one OF the most appall-
ing occurrences in loss OF life and property
recorded in recent times. The river broke
it's banks on the evening ofSept. %, south
west of the city OF Ching Chow
and not only completely inundated
that city. but also ten other populous
cities. The whole area is now raging sea
ten to thirty feet deep, where it was once a
densely populated and rich plain. The
former bed OF the Yellow river is now dry
and the present lake was the bed OF tho
river centuries ago. The loss OF life is in.
caculable, and the statement is made by
missionaries that millions OF Chinese are
homeless and starving. The newly gather.
ed crops, houses and trees are all swept
away involving a fearful loss OF life.
The governor in Honau reports to the
throne that "nearly all the people have
been drowned in the district reached by
the water, the survivors being those who
escaped to high ground or took refuge in
trees, where they remained until they were
rescued. In the province OF Chilli, where
disastrous inunrlations have also occurred
there are 10000 people homeless, repre-.
senting those whose lives were destroyed.
The extent OF ground swept over by the
overwhelming flood is over 1000 square
miles, and the land thus submerged formed
q part OF one Of the richest and most
densey populated plains OF Northern
China.

been out" said Sis, putting the shop
window at last out of her mind.
"And l do hope she'll let me buy a
lot of wood out of this money the
lady gave us, and build roarer of a
fire for once to keep that old rickety
room warm" added Bobby, jingling in
his pocket, where every hole had been
carefully sewed, some loose pieces of
silver, and thinking how nice it would
sound to have duet of the same kind
of music, if only there could be an
equal amount of silver In his other
pocket. After a moments pause, he
spoke again:
II say, Sis, 1 do wish the lady had
said, here, now, Christmas is coming,
and here is some extra money for you,
my dear Wouldn't it have been jolly,
though! But some folks don't seem
to think bout such things"
"No, they don't. Seems as if I
would, though. Wouldn't you, Bobby
If you were rich, mean?" replied
Sis, blowing on her little blue fingers
to keep them warm.
"Just you believe 1 would" an
swered the boy, COMPRISING his lips
and looking very determined.
Just then they were at the door of
the shabby tenement building where
they called one room "home," and
where their mother was even now
waiting for them, and wondering why
her darlings were not at home.
Up the stairs the children ran, the
creaking steps groaning as if giants,
instead of two small, thin children,
were passing over them.
At the top landing-the very "top-
pest" as they used to say, of all the
landings-they were received by the
dear mother, whose ears had caught
and recognized the sound of the little
feet she loved so well.
''Oh, WE'LL" cried Bobby, hugging
the pale woman and kissing her cheek
and lips with world of love in his
kisses-"Oh, we'll, 1 don't care so
much that we don't have any Christ
mas, so long as we've got the bestest
and sweetest mother in the world!''
And little Sis, nowise behind in her
embraces, fully agreed with him.
The money was delivered to its
rightful owner; part of it was returned
to Bobby, who soon left it on the
grocer's counter, and took instead
some small packages of wood, with
which and a few cinders he made a
fire and warmed the miserable room
right well, considering the wide cracks
! in doors and window easements.
But all the evening and all
